”Cycle” / “Yin Yang” (2021), Digital Artwork
Cai: In Cycle, four works: “Air”, “Water”, “Fire”, and “Yin Yang” are representing four different elements, and they are composed of the “universe” that exists in my inner world. When you look at them with eyes, objects are static. If you “see” them with your heart, they are dynamic. A strong contrast between background and objects provides more visual effect in dimension. The color of skin tone and expressing the states of solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is the biggest challenge in the process. Asian art elements are permeating in details such as lotus, koi fish, and lucky clouds. Audiences could be more surprised when they are digging more details on the work. That is one of the important factors that make the Cycle to be a complete work because the interaction would not be activated without participation. The whole process of this series is an incredible experience that guides me to find out the answers on the path to the truth of the meaning of my life.

**Colton Thomas**
”Ceros” (2021), Acrylic on Canvas, 48" x 60"
*Winner of the ***Mel Ramos Foundation Award***

Thomas: Ceros is an intuitive extraction of baneful, egoic energies that — when translated and encapsulated as paint on the canvas — depict sensations of blunt force trauma. A collective of emotions are sealed in malignant growths that spread and entangle in a surrounding black mass with spire-like defenses. In contrast, paint drippings symbolize attempts at surrendering these egoic attachments into the healing nature of light.

Don Padlan
KŌEN Restaurant Menu (2022), Graphic Artwork

Padlan: This is a bi-fold double-sided menu depicting and representing Asian culture through food and design. KŌEN is a fictional restaurant which revolves around Asian unity, inspired by societal unrest during the early pandemic. Food is arguably the number one means of connecting and appreciating other cultural groups, which makes this menu project the perfect medium to link Asian cultures. “Koen” is a Japanese term which can roughly translate to “park” in English, where I believe public parks to be places of gathering, peace, and rest which welcomes everyone. When thinking of a Japanese-style park, I visualize flowers, a zen garden, water, benches, and bridges. My logo is a vague representation of a bridge in the style of older Asian artworks of artists’ signature stamps. Bridges are representational of both the park, hence the restaurant’s name, and as a cultural connection not just between Asians, but with everyone who wants to enjoy comforting soul food. Scattered around the menu are flowers of which are the national flowers for the seven Asian countries whose foods are represented. The flowers and overall theme of my graphic elements revolve around a very contemporary Japanese woodblock ukiyo-e style, further deepening Asian interconnectedness.
